Nissan Murano Morphs Into The R35 GT-R Of SUVs

Image
The first-gen Nissan Murano was used as the base for a GT-R-inspired SUV. The bodykit replicates the R35-gen styling, complete with genuine lights. The build, clearly a product of a big Godzilla fan, was spotted in Malaysia. While Nissan may have r ecently stopped accepting orders for the GT-R R35 , the sports car still commands a devoted fanbase across the globe. One particularly enthusiastic fan from Malaysia has taken this passion to new heights, creating a Murano-based GT-R impersonator, blending the aggressive styling of the R35 with the practicality of an SUV. You can call it the Murano GT-R. More: The Nissan Fairlady X Is The Unholy Union Of A New Z And A Murano This unique build is rooted in the first-generation Nissan Murano , though you’d hardly recognize it as such. The sheer number of styling modifications make it clear that this is no simple conversion. From what we can tell from the photos, only the greenhouse and pillars have been carried over from the or...

Homeowner Gets Revenge After HOA Fines Him For Parking His Car A Few Inches Onto Grass

Image
A car enthusiast received a fine and multiple letters from his homeowners association. Since then, he’s been gradually escalating his response by pushing the HOA’s rules. Now, he’s running for HOA president while continuing to troll the establishment. Homeowners associations (HOAs) are supposed to keep neighborhoods looking tidy and property values stable, but they often do so in ways that seem less about preserving charm and more about flexing unnecessary authority. A small group of content creators in Georgia just became intimately familiar with that dynamic. After their HOA complained about one of their cars being parked on the grass, the group decided to respond—not by moving the car, but by trolling the HOA in three creative ways. See: Angry Woman Blocks Texas Neighborhood Car Parade For Birthday Boy To be clear, this wasn’t a case of a car fully parked on the front lawn like it’s waiting to be part of a used car lot. No, the issue was that the car’s tires were s...

Hundreds Of Tesla EVs Pile Up In Canadian Parking Lots After Suspicious Sales Rush

Image
Disused parking lots in Canada are filled with rows of brand new Tesla EVs. The cars appeared after 8,600 were registered in four locations one weekend. The unusual spike occurred just before Canada put a hold on iZEV subsidies. Tesla was accused by the Canadian Automobile Dealers Association (CADA) of cheating legitimate car dealers and buyers in Canada out of iZEV subsidies earlier this month. Critics have now grown even more suspicious after footage emerged of hundreds of new Tesla EVs left in disused parking lots. Canadian media discovered huge fleets of brand new Model 3 s and Model Ys languishing in the lot of an old strip mall in Toronto, conveniently located across the street from a Tesla dealership. Hundreds of miles away in Laval, Quebec, reporters founds scores more Teslas jammed into parking bays in another lot.

$8K Infiniti Owner Goes For Oil Change, Leaves With $5,000 Repair Quote

Image
An Infiniti owner says that he took his car in for an oil change and got a shocking quote. That came in the form of a $5,000 bill to repair his Q50 sedan that’s worth roughly $8,000. In fact, a $1,400 battery terminal quote raises questions about the repair shop’s pricing. A repair shop seemingly thought they could get away with a $1,479.58 estimate for replacing a battery terminal. Sure, that seems like a reasonable price for what’s essentially a piece of metal. Or maybe they were hoping the customer would just leave them alone. Either way, the fact that they presented this mind-boggling quote to an Infiniti owner driving a car worth around $8,000 is, well, a little rich. The Infiniti in question is a 2015 Q50a . That might sound strange as the ‘a’ designation is one that Infiniti didn’t stick with and refers to the base Q50 of the day. What that means in the light of this story is that we’re not talking about a car with a ton of bells and whistles. Despite that, the...

VW’s Newest Special Edition Is For Dogs

Image
VW and KONG have teamed up to release a limited edition dog toy inspired by the ID. Buzz. The toy costs $13.99 and for each one purchased, another will be donated to an animal shelter. KONG dog toys were inspired by the rubber axle stops on the 1960s Volkswagen Type 2 Bus. A few years ago, we told our readers about Joe Markham and his German Shepherd named Fritz. Markham owned an automotive repair shop in downtown Denver and was working on a late 1960s Volkswagen Type 2 Bus, when he suddenly heard Fritz going crazy. He went to investigate and saw the dog chewing on a bulbous axle stop, and having the time of his life. This turned out to be a great toy as the rubber was strong enough to endure repeated chewing, while also being soft enough not to damage Fritz’s teeth.
